Description

When Caroline Bingley, for the first time in her life, collapses to the floor and sobs at Mr Darcy's wedding, she does not think anyone is watching. Imagine her humiliation when she discovers that a stranger has witnessed her emotional display. Miss Bingley, understandably, resents this unknown gentleman very much, even if he is Mr Darcy's American cousin. And a year later, when she is forced to travel to Pemberley with him, she still has not forgiven him. But her attempts to snub him fail completely, and, as the Bennets' descend upon them, she finds herself spending more and more time in his company, with her rigid standards of behaviour slipping slowly away...Is there more to the infamous Miss Bingley than meets the eye? And can this other Mr Darcy break through her reserve?
